I have had Lymphedema for 14 years.Right arm.I started MLD and wrapping last fall.We got my arm back to normal size and I went with new Juso sleeze.I was wrapping 3 times a week before I got the new sleeve .I went to 2 times a week. then 1.I missed 3 weeks of Mld and wrapping when my mother passed away Dec 6. last weekend I wrapped my arm.Pain like I HAVE NEVER HAD .I have a spot of fibrosis above my elbow on my forarm it was the size of my thumb.The cellulitus showed up behind the fibrosis.Red and swelling.I listen to you on this web site went to urgent care Dec 30.They gave me a shot of roosslin 500mg. and prescription for Keflex 500mg 4 times a day.The pain is going away and the redness has retreated to just the forarm.its was all the way to my arm pit.the color is pink now my arm reminds me of a lava lamp.Fibrosis in my arm is hard like a rock and still has fever in it.I have been on antibiotics 48hrs.going to the family doctor monaday morning.how long does this stuff last?

Generally, cellulitis will run its course and be completely gone with 7 - 10 days of antibiotics.

The pain that accompanies cellulitis is probably the worse type of physical pain that I've had. There seems to be much more pain with it then I've had with any surgery, injury etc. If you ever need a short course of pain meds to help, don't be afraid to ask your doc.

Glad to hear you are doing better - just give yourself time now to get your energy levels and spunk back.

So sorry to hear about your mom, I lost mine a couple years ago and I still really miss her. She wasn't just a mom to me, as an adult, she really became one of my best friends too.

Color is better.still turns pink then white.I got a battle going on in there.I drank some cranberrie juice and pushed allot of water.The pain is going away and the Fibrosis is SHRINKING getting soft.I have am very motivated.I feel good today.
